    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for remembering me during this very important Motion. From the outset, I thank my colleague, the Woman Representative for Turkana County, for coming up with a very serious Motion about security. Nothing can happen in this country if there is insecurity. Even the Kenya Kwanza Government, which pledged to fix all these problems immediately they put the Bible down, has not been able to address it. We want to be very sincere. For us to fix these insecurity problems, two things must be done. Leaders must engage. Leaders from diverse communities and localities must meet and engage. They should bring their people on board and ask them to expose the few charlatan characters. Secondly, the Government must also provide the necessary basic commodities. There should be water. Almost 50 years after independence, I do not know why cattle should be struggling to get water or good pastures when we are busy building high-rises and funding irrelevant things. We forget that in Rift Valley, the mainstay for those people is cattle. We are not providing them with proper environment for keeping cattle. Leaders must be sincere because they could be among those either directly involved in the so-called banditry, or they could be promoting banditry either for political expediency or economic reasons.
